Ashmore is located about nine kilometres from Surfers Paradise between Southport and Benowa. Families are prominent in this area and there are plenty of activities to keep the kids happy.

Ashmore is a relaxed suburb popular among all age groups looking to escape the hustle and bustle of busier suburbs.

At the 2006 Census, Ashmore had a population of 11,514.

The area's name derives from a locality or family property in England.

Also a local thoroughfare with residents travelling from Benowa Road to Nerang Road, the suburb was officially perpetuated in 1976 when a housing estate was developed in the area called Ashmore Village.

Pre-clearing, the vegetation of Ashmore included substantial areas of Blackbutt (Eucalyptus pilularis) tall open forest on lowland metamorphosed sediments. This ecosystem type is now listed as endangered with extinction in Queensland having been extensively cleared for agriculture and housing development.

The area now occupied by Royal Pines resort once supported grand old Eucalyptus tereticornis forests and wetlands with patches of rainforest. Jabiru, magpie geese and a variety of water birds used these wetlands which stretched from Nerang to near Burleigh along the floodplain of the Nerang River Valley and Mudgeereebah and Bonogin Creeks.

This ecosystem was like a miniature Kakadu with lagoons of lilypads, swamp rainforest and gnarled old paperbark forest filled with palms. It has been almost completely annihilated by development and is a terrible loss for the region's wildlife.

In the 1980s prior to the development of Royal Pines, farmland with remnant degraded wetlands and some forest remained, and Jabiru, Spoonbills, Magpie Geese and a variety of other birds could be seen there.
